About
I'm a UK-qualified financial adviser living in Vietnam with my wife and daughter. I moved to Vietnam in 2015, originally to pursue journalism. I changed careers in 2022.
I work closely with expat clients (individuals, families and business owners) to provide professional advice that helps them to rest easy knowing their financial planning is secure.
You can do a background check on me via the links in my profile, and can check out the company I work with, Infinity Financial Solutions (infinitysolutions.com), which is now part of the Hoxton Wealth Group (hoxtonwealth.com).
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. And have a great day.

I worked remotely and explored the city. It was a relaxing time pre-Covid!
Sydney is a clean and relaxed city. The coastal walks and libraries are great, the food is brilliant, and there are some great people there!
Ultimately I got a bit bored. I think Sydney, while beautiful, wasn't for me. The pace of life was too slow (which some love!) and I missed living in Asia.

Home.
I was primarily a student while growing up! :)
The UK has some of the world's most beautiful countryside, and for all the complaints, it is a great country.
Let's not get me started 馃槄 I prefer not to focus on the negatives of my own country - it's too easy to focus on, and it distracts from the positives. Alas, I chose not to live there. That is enough...
